At 4:02 p.m., officers responded to Tiger's Deli at 1224 Kennedy Blvd. on a report of a burglary in process, Bayonne police said. Shortly thereafter, officers located Roshawn Simmons, who was wearing the exact clothing description and was confirmed as the burglar, police said. He was placed under arrest, police said.
